YouTube Gold: The Two Great Talents Of Wayman Tisdale

In Jim’s article this morning, he talks about Duke’s visit to Oklahoma in the 1990-91 season and coming away with a tough win.

The Billy Tubbs era may have been the greatest ever for Oklahoma basketball and one of the greatest players in Oklahoma (or Big 8/12 history) was Wayman Tisdale.

Most people are lucky to have one great, world class skill in life. Tisdale had two.

He was good enough in college to be on the 1984 Olympic team with Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing and other greats. He was the #2 pick in the 1985 draft behind only Ewing.
